Burglars and thieves have one thing in common; both of them are cowards who will flee at the first sign of being discovered. Both are also extremely stupid and often make silly mistakes when executing their regrettable acts. Burglars are especially worse because unlike a thief who may come in when you’re sleeping, they strike when you’re away. It’s only when you return in the evening after work that you’ll realize someone broke into your house. But this should not always be the case; you have the power and ability to keep off burglars from your home. How? By installing alarm systems!

Burglar alarm systems alert you; whether you are sound asleep, or away from home, an alarm system will notify you when an intruder or burglar shows up to your home. Nowadays, we have alarms that can be linked to your mobile phone or laptop so that you get a notification each time they go off. This is especially handy for homeowners who’re seldom at home. And you might as well need a Locksmith from London

Burglar alarm systems are also a deterrent; burglars do their homework before striking. Most would rather keep off a property that has a functional alarm system, than risk getting noticed. In other words, homes with burglar alarm systems are less likely to get broken into, compared to those that don’t. Research has clearly shown that homes with clear signs at the entrance of Burglar alarm systems aren’t as targeted as those that don’t. Read > https://www.adt.co.uk/home-security/burglar-alarms

Insurance purposes; some insurance companies are strict, before they compensate you they’ll need to be certain that you took all reasonable measures to protect your property. Having an alarm system is one such way! You’d have a tall task seeking compensation or sympathy from insurance companies if they learn that your home wasn’t as protected as it ought to have been. Thus, it makes much sense to install an alarm system in your premises, not just to alert you or warn burglars, but to be on the safe side. Some neighborhoods and cities have it mandatory that all homes must have burglar alarm systems.

No home is really 100% safe and secure; even the most guarded ones get broken into once in a while. However, having a burglar alarm system installed greatly reduces the likelihood of your home being broken into. It acts as an effective deterrent that keeps any would be intruder at bay.

Easy, delicious chocolate cake recipe. Here’s a great recipe for easy chocolate cake. Great for any occasion and always loved by everyone. Once made, decorate it however you like; I like to add smarties and other chocolates.

For the chocolate icing

Cake Method

Preheat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas 4. Grease and line two 20cm/8in sandwich cake tins.

For the mixture, place all of the cake ingredients, except the boiling water, into a large mixing bowl. Beat the mixture with whisk until smooth with no bumps.

Add the boiling water to the mixture, a little at a time, until smooth. (The mixture will now be very liquid.)

Divide the batter between the sandwich tins and bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes, or until a knife in the centre of the cake comes out clean.

Remove the cakes from the oven and allow to cool completely, still in their tins, before icing.

For the chocolate icing, heat the chocolate and cream in a saucepan over a very low heat until the chocolate melts. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk the mixture until smooth, glossy and thickened. Set aside to cool for 1-2 hours, or until thick enough to spread over.

Run a round-bladed knife around the inside of the tins to loosen the cakes. Carefully remove them from the tins.

Spread a little chocolate icing over the top of one of the chocolate cakes, then carefully top with the other cake.

Transfer the cakes to a serving plate and ice the cake all over with the chocolate icing, using a palette knife.

Decorate and enjoy!

Baking is a great bonding experience with friends, children and cousins. It really brings the family together; have fun!

Industries in Nigeria and the emerging markets generally, differs quite a lot from the developed world – the fact that there is no infrastructure and massive infrastructure gaps is the most basic sample of this.

What’s also different is the fact that industries that are pushed by the west – usually consumer goods driven, such as eCommerce and FMCG – see a lot of over-capacity built in them.

This is done to prepare for the “mythical African consumer” when the massive demand for these services comes, but also to build high entry barriers into the sectors for other foreigners looking to invest in the continent.

Evaluating industries

Bertrams Lukstins covers this quite well in the “Investing in Nigeria” report, this is the main framework:

View the whole value chain for it’s efficiency – this is to identify infrastructure gaps.

Evaluate the inefficiencies – are they really unfavorable for the industry?

Opportunities – do the gaps provide opportunities to build entry barriers? To evolve the industry and build new solutions?

The different elements in the chain – are they vulnerable to other elements of the overall Nigerian investment landscape?

Another important thing to consider when evaluating Nigerian industries is tariffs.

Many industries, such as the domestic rice industry, are based purely on the import tariffs that the federal government of Nigeria have put in place. The question to ask is what drivers are driving the industry growth.

A good industry, such as the cassava industry, will grow naturally due to the domestic landscape and the domestic demand – not the governments imposed tariffs.

The building industry is one of the fastest growing industries and with this growth; the need for waste control is becoming increasingly important for all stakeholders in the sector.

Here are the 5 things you need to know for waste control in the building industry;

Managing your waste – One major factor to consider in waste control involves ways to manage your waste. Set aside an area for storing materials and waste and have different containers for different types of waste. Be sure to choose an area which is secure and safe from the elements and from vandalism.

Minimising and disposing of waste – There are various ways of minimizing and disposing of waste. Ways of minimizing waste can include selecting products which have minimal packaging and products which offer potential to minimize waste. When disposing your waste it is important to find the nearest waste sites to save on time and transport costs. Consider what methods you would like to use in disposing of liquid wastes and lubricants.

Organizing your waste – Organizing your waste is important to allow for proper disposal. Consider the materials on use at the site; can some of the waste materials be reused to reduce waste? Find out whether some of the surplus materials can be returned to the supplier or can be sold or used in another project. Once your waste has been organized and classified, it is important to create categories and colour codes for proper disposal.

Training and proper communication – It is important that you ensure all personnel are properly trained. Once the waste control plans are drawn up, it is important to share this plan with all staff and distribute roles and responsibilities.

Upholding laws – Ensure all waste control and management laws are followed by the regulatory bodies to avoid hefty fine and penalties.

Health Benefits Of Dark Chocolate

Dark chocolate is loaded with nutrients that could positively affect your health. Made of cocoa, it’s one of the best antioxidants on the planet. Studies have shown that dark chocolate can improve health and lower the risk of heart diseases.

Dark chocolate with a high cocoa content is quite nutritious. It’s loaded with a high amount of fiber and minerals.

It is also a powerful source of antioxidants. ORAC- oxygen radical absorbance capacity is the measure of antioxidants in food. Raw, unprocessed cocoa is among the highest rating foods that have been tested. Dark chocolate is loaded with organic compounds that are biologically active and function as antioxidants.

Dark chocolate may improve blood flow and lower blood pressure. There are many controllers’ trials that show cocoa and dark chocolate can improve blood flow and lower blood pressure; but the effects are usually mild, although the study showed no effect in a certain group of people.

It may lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Compounds in dark chocolate appear to be highly productive against oxidation of LDL. In the long term, it should cause less cholesterol to lodge in the arteries hence reduced risk of heart disease.

Dark chocolate may protect your skin against the sun. The bioactive compounds in it may be great for your skin. The flavonols can protect against Sun induced damage, increase blood flow to the skin and increase skin density and hydration. If you are planning a beach vacation, consider looking up dark chocolate in the preceding weeks or months.

Lastly, dark chocolate may improve the brain functions. A study by volunteers showed that five days of chocolate consumption increase the blood flow to the brain. Cocoa may also increase cognitive function in elderly people with mental impairments.

It also increases verbal fluency and several risk factors for disease. Cocoa also contains stimulant substances like caffeine and the bromine which can explain the improved brain function especially though short term.

Conclusion
There is considerably more benefit of consuming the chocolate, but it does not mean you should go out there and consume tons of it every day. At the end of the day it is still packed with calories; perhaps a piece or two after dinner.

Coco has been grown in Ghana for almost a century, since the first plant was introduced there. And most people may never realize this, but perhaps your favourite brand of chocolate bar has its origins in Ghana! Although there are other countries and regions that produce coco, the quality of Ghana’s coco has been ranked number one for many years. Even famous chocolate brands like Cadburys import a huge amount of coco from this West African region.

Below are some of the basic things you should know about Coco in Ghana;

Ghana is a country in West Africa, whose climate is very conducive for the growing of coco. The country experiences the right amount of rainfall that helps the plant grow, and ripen as it ought to.

Coco is Ghana’s main cash crop, and the second biggest income earner in the country. The top income earner is Gold.

90% of all coco grown in the country is grown in small scale farms owned by peasants. There are no large farms, the kind that are common in the West and developed nations.

Ghana is only second to Ivory Coast, in terms of being the global leader of coco production. Both countries lie in the same geographical zone, which perhaps explains why they are both the leading producers of coco.

The coco industry has employed about 3.2 million men and women, either as farmers, harvesters, transporters, importers, and so on so forth.

Most of the coco produced in Ghana ends up in Europe, where major companies use it to manufacture Chocolate bars.

Recently, coco farmers have embraced technological advancements, to help them produce more and attend to their farms more easily.

Conclusion;

Coco is a major cash crop in Ghana, and the next time you take that sweet bite of your favorite chocolate bar, chances are that its origin is from Ghana!
